It seems almost pointless to add another review about exceptional fried chicken and top notch chicken sammies. I want to mention the clam chowder. Tried it for the first time today. The online description is true, this chowder stacks up against anything offered by the best seafood restaurants and clam shacks in New England. It is packed with clams and is not over thick like too many "tourist" chowder offerings. One thing it has that too many chowders lack these days is a strong bacon flavor. There was plenty of bacon included. Absolutely worth getting, make a meal of it! read more

Delicious smoothies, kind staff, and really cool vibe. Great selection of food and drinks to go!

Stopped here because it was local food... but we got treated like we were trash. They never called our name so I asked after 20 mins of waiting how long it might take (the place was almost empty) but our food was ready and cold. Not impressed. read more

The chicken sandwich is the best I've had thus far! And trust...I eat fried chicken sandwiches like everywhere I go. Get a cup of clam chowder while you're there- you will not regret it. read more

My fiancé and I moved to Stow about a month ago and Nan's has become our number one spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We go to Nan's weekly and sometimes more than once a week... it's that good! Sandwiches are unbelievably good. The Nan's OG chicken sandwich is a MUST. The bowls are also a delight. Not only do they have great food, but Nan's has a great beer and wine selection too. Make your own four-pack of beers? Yes please! Great spot! Would definitely recommend! Perfect country store vibe with amazing food and interesting selections. read more

Nan's is awesome! It's really hard to find a place like this that serves inspired and delicious food, with lots of healthy, homestyle options. Their hot honey chicken sandwich is wildly good, as is their clam chowder. Recommend also getting a variety of their sides and chocolate chip cookies, and spend some time checking out their carefully curated selection of beer, wine, and locally sourced goods and snacks. read more

During this heat wave, The folks at Nans have done an outstanding job! Nobody wants to cook during hot days and they hustled to get those never ending orders out! (I'm guilty of several of those) Bravo Nans you and your team are amazing!! Everyone is kind, engaging and profession...(Especially the girl that took my order...She was adorable) Can't wait till my next visit Nancy C read more

All good. Unique venue ambiance and food. Love the home style feel. Super clean and friendly service also.

I have ordered food 4 times now. food is always good. sometimes a little wait, but worth it

Fried chicken is some of the best to be had. Really good sides too. Fun beer cooler to look through although you can't drink on the premises. read more

I am no expert but Nan's fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had. The meat is juicy and flavorful, the portions are generous, the crust, OMG, the crust. It's amazing. We tried all three kinds. Our favorite is the Nashville. I've had Nashville hot chicken (in Nashville) and this is not hot compared to that but it's got a nice kick to it. Their original fried chicken is also amazing, but I could do without the touch of sweetness. And don't let the "kid friendly" one scare you away. It's still perfect, classic, flavorful fried chicken. Just without the extra kick. This chicken has turned my family into animals. We are not usually "bone-in" people, but we were tearing this chicken apart with our bare hands and sucking meat off the bones. I can't believe there is fried chicken this good in Stow, MA. It's bringing a tear to my eye. Besides chicken, we also got biscuits, potato salad, and the cabbage and kohlrabi slaw. The slaw was a refreshing accompaniment to the chicken. The potato salad was solid, but I won't say it knocked my socks off. The biscuits were a bit disappointing. They were big, but they were very heavy and dried out. We'll skip them next time. We will definitely be back to try some "healthier" items! :D read more

Amazing fresh food with fantastic food options- both cold and hot! Their green bowls are the best I've had and their coffee....there are no words! So good! Great manager/owner who handed me a cookie for my patience with a new staff member. THAT'S customer service at its finest! read more

Highly recommend the delicious and filling "grain bowls" for lunch/dinner: protein main (chicken, salmon, or falafel) + 1 grain/green base + 2 side veggies, and any number of sauces you like. Very reasonable price for the quantity and quality of ingredients. Big shout out to the chefs for their expertly cooked veggies - perfectly roasted/grilled (love that char) and flavors maxed out with seasoning and spices. Brussels sprouts and carrots been my favorites, but everything sampled has been good. Streamlined online ordering system (with informative description and pictures of each menu item), and all of my orders have been ready on-time for the scheduled pick-up. Store contains a curated selection of what appear to be mostly locally-produced market goods; under more normal circumstances I'd browse more carefully and a leisurely pace. Staff have all been very friendly and accommodating. Keep up the great work! read more

Awesome! They went above and beyond to hook me up after my online order didn't go through. We ordered original chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes, slaw, brussel sprouts, and cookies. Every item made us go "Mmmmmm..." after the first bite. I am so glad I finally found a place that treats veggies right. The store is adorable- Thank you for this gem! read more

The veggies and bowls here are the standouts! Loved the kale salad, pesto broccoli and sweet potatoes. Fried chicken was also a hit.

Clean food that tastes good and a great wine selection to boot! So many people call ahead with orders, at time you can wait around a bit, so ordering in advance can be wise. read more

This place is bonkers good. Their breakfast sandwiches are delicious and their fried chicken sammie is one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten - heavily brined, but absolutely delicious. Their smoothies are amazing and the spot is very cool as well. This a true find- rivaling the best Boston lunch spots, but...you know...in Stow. read more

I don't write many reviews, but Nan's Market was so amazing that I had to share. We ordered our food off their website which was super easy and convenient. We got the Everything Bagel Fried Chicken...all I can say is WOW!! It has to be the best fried chicken that I have ever had. The Pesto Broccoli is so good as well. The biscuits were the best. Super friendly staff. I can't wait to try out their breakfast and lunch menu. Thanks for a great meal! read more

Their kid friendly chicken literally says no spices on the menu. I can't have garlic or onions and specified that when I ordered 2 hours ahead of time. Was called 15 minutes before pickup at 615 to be told it actually has spices including garlic and onions. Had to scramble to figure out dinner for the family read more

This place has interesting food, and it is good; however, for some reason, they wait 30 minutes to make even a cup of coffee if you order online. It seems like a flaw that the Toast software can't more reasonably estimate The time it takes to make something. I like Nan's a lot, but I'd be surprised if anyone is driving 30 minutes to come get a coffee at Nan's and needs 30 minutes lead time. read more

Best fried chicken! I tried both fried chicken sandwiches and the piece dinner meal! Reasonable priced with generous portions. Their side dishes are just as delicious if you prefer something on the healthy side. Very friendly staff and good customer service! read more

Amazing chowder, the chicken Sammie is *chefs kiss* and the cookies are soooo good! Plus they just got on Grubhub which makes me a very happy camper!! read more

Not on sourdough today but has been for weeks and is what is advertised online. I called and they said I was wrong and it is always on marble rye. This regular knows better. When I asked them to remake on sourdough they said they were out of sour dough. They should of notified me. Lost my business and worse yet my trust read more

Nan's Kitchen - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Stow, Massachusetts

See all

Excellent food. The fried chicken is very good and they have good deserts as well. Can be busy with long line but worth the wait.

Very disappointed. I wanted fried chicken breast without the bread. With a side of 2 salads. They didn't know how to do that. So after waiting approximately 35 minutes with a client, having to go inside several times to see if it was ready. We finally got the order and my entrée, if you could call it that was partially cooked chicken mixed in with vinegar salads. Needless to say I didn't enjoy it. I was disappointed as I specifically stated that I wanted the fried chicken I came for. They need to get their act together. Even busy families in Stow don't have time to order 2hours in advance for kind of food. My guest was a prominent Stow Attorney. This was her first time. read more

Incredible chicken sandwich! My new favorite place to come for coffee and lunch. Very clean, friendly staff and great location.

I recently submitted an online order for Nan's in Stow. It wasn't quite ready when I got there. I waited in the retail section looking at books. Other customers were there waiting for their orders. It was almost closing time. When I still hadn't gotten my order and they were about to close, I went over to the counter and asked about the order. Three staffers huddled and spoke among themselves in almost a whisper. They looked at their computer screen. But they wouldn't tell me what was going on. When I finally asked them what was happening, they said my order had been picked up by someone else. While I was waiting in the retail area, my order was quietly put on the counter. One of the other people identified themself as me, and walked out with my order. I was only a few feet away when it happened. They were closing in two minutes. There was no way they could remake the order. The staffers continued to huddle and avoided eye contact or explanation. There was no apology. When I said that I was surprised this had happened, one staffer turned to me and said: "It...happens...all...the...time". No mention of them sensing the urgency of the problem or looking for ways to solve it. Just a soft virtual shoulder shrug. Some people may be taking advantage of how Nan's operates and are walking out with free food on a regular basis. They refunded my online payment and gave me a couple of cookies as a consolation prize. They do a great job with the food. Perhaps they can become competent and professional in other areas. If their motto is going to be "Let them eat cookies", they should probably change their name to Marie Nantoinette's. read more

I eat a lot of fried chicken. Like, a LOT. It's kinda hard to screw up fried chicken and most places do a passable job with it. However, I find it very hard to go back to any of those places after trying Nan's. Easily the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. a generous, juicy, flavorful piece of brined and marinated chicken breast with a thick and crunchy breading that holds up to the smoky mayo and shaved slaw, or the chili oil and and pickles if you get the nashville style sandwich, and it's all possibly the most perfectly toasted brioche roll I've ever had. so far the only thing I've tried besides the sandwiches are the hush puppies which were quite delicious, though a little larger than I was expecting. Maybe it's just because I'm a yankee, but I think they would benefit quite a bit from the gravy they serve which is probably how must people around here order them. I'm sure theres a few savages adding ketchup but that's off topic. I'm really looking forward to getting a bucket of chicken and try more of their sides as well as breakfast and some of their beverages. The bad: Takeout only and no indoor seating. Plenty of gorgeous outdoor seating, but some days like today it's just too damn hot and muggy to be outside. Plenty of my favorite restaurants are essentially takeout only, but sometimes I really just want to sit and enjoy my food in a temperature controlled environment. With such a beautiful and large space it's a shame to not offer at least a bar or a couple small tables inside. I know dining space is a hot button issue because of the pandemic but I can see this place booming as a gathering spot like rapscallion in acton, especially in the next few months as the weather gets a little more hospitable with a few spots inside and maybe some waitstaff for drinks given their extensive beer and wine selection. Overall, Very happy to Nan's in the neighborhood. read more

I've now also tried the breakfast burritos and biscuits - and both are DELISH, especially the biscuits when they are first made (the best biscuits I've ever eaten!). read more

Delicious food! Chicken sandwich is to die for!! Love having this little gem in Stow.

AMAZING FRIED CHICKEN AND THE BEST EXPERIENCE! Nan's is a very unique gem, and all the details are very well thought out. The staff is also incredible and very friendly. Lastly, make sure to ask Mariana for her bowl suggestion!! read more

What can I say other than "let's get Nan's this weekend!" Is what helps me get through a tough work week. Everything I've tried is good, but I usually get the chicken wrap and the veggie bowls. Great ingredients and great food. read more

Super delicious, friendly, and allergy-friendly! We are moving away but will miss Nan's a lot. Their chicken noodle soup is the stuff dreams are made of! read more

What a beautiful spot. We had the Brussels sprouts, kale salad and fried chicken. So delicious and fresh. A great addition to the area!

Food is very good with healthy choices. All made fresh. Great side options. Service is very slow and disorganized though. I have gotten take out twice. Although they give you a time when your food will be ready., Both times I had to wait 20-25 minutes. read more

This place is amazing! It is so beautiful, so well thought out, and the food is outstanding. This is the best, crispiest chicken sandwich I've ever had. Their chicken and dumpling soup was phenomenal. I had a little issue with my take out order and the owner sent such a gracious email to me. The outdoor eating area is lovely, and each table has disinfectant wipes which is nice and hygienic. Clean And beautiful space. Can't wait to return read more

Great neighborhood gem! Food is great: fresh and yummy. Service is very slow though and prices are high, but if you are in a bind for lunch/dinner - Nan's is a reliably good option. read more

We ordered takeout from Nan's a couple weeks ago for the first time and we were so impressed by the flavor, quality, and care that was put into the food. We ordered 5 of the small vegetable sides for a tapas style dinner, and the quantity did not disappoint! We eat had 2 servings of each side and still had leftovers. You can just taste the freshness of the ingredients, and the flavor combinations are genius. Can't wait to try again! read more

Nans is quite possibly the greatest creation I have ever come across. I LOVE this place, every meal I've had has been absolutely jaw dropping. Their chicken shawarma bowl is INSANE and their breakfast burrito is possibly the best I've ever had. I'm from California and I've had a ton of breakfast burritos, but this one was next level. The chicken sausage and potatoes were SOOO flavorful and everything tied perfectly together. My family also got the French toast and they LOVED IT. We go once a week for dinner and the chicken shawarma is my go to. The broccoli is INSANE and I LOVE the carrots, there farro is also insanely flavorful. I could not recommend this place more, it's super easy and healthy, and the food is amazing. I would pay for cooking lessons because this is some of the best food I've ever had! read more

Oh no! Another 35 minute wait after I ordered ahead of time. Great food and drink selection. Very nice staff. Something is disconnected though on the logistics. I hope it improves! read more
